Yesterday, 2 years ago, my kids were freed from a life no child deserves. That day didn't start off too well. (You can look back at my post on Oct. 8, 2012) Then my wonderful husband reminded me that I shouldn't let others steal my joy! Was he ever right! So many times we just have to change our mind set to see the joy in all things. My sweet kids were just about to teach me the joy of -
- New clothes
- Walking through a gate
- Riding in a car
- Meeting new people
- Being able to choose what to eat
- A bottle of coke
- A warm bath
- Clean sheets
- Light switches
- Elevators and Escalators
All the day to day things that just get taken for granted.
But above all those things, the joy of -
- Belonging
They were finally wanted and they were “home.” They never looked back. That… was pure joy!
